MotivationWhy use DMRG as impurity solver for DMFT?

Where is DMRG better than Quantum Monte Carlo?

◦ EQ: direct access to frequency-dependent observables / access T=0

◦ NEQ: no phase problem . longer simulation times

Where is DMRG better than NRG?

◦ EQ: homogeneous energy resolution / better scaling with number of bands

◦ NEQ: no application of NRG yet

Why hasn’t it been used up to now?

◦ Lanczos: instable and not precise Garcıa, Hallberg & Rozenberg, PRL (2004)

◦ DDMRG: computationally extremely expensive Nishimoto & Jeckelmann, JPhysCondMat, 2

papers (2004), Karski, Raas & Uhrig, PRB (2005), Karski, Raas & Uhrig, PRB (2008)

◦ Chebyshev and Time evolution: much faster and precise Ganahl, Thunstrom, Verstraete,

Summary and Outlook

Summary

◦ Use Chebyshev polynomials to compute spectral functions!

◦ DMFT with DMRG + CheMPS much more efficient than previous MPS methods

◦ Entanglement depends strongly on representation of impurity model . stargeometry favorable

◦ Solving NEQDMFT using MPS allows to access larger times

Outlook

◦ further understand entanglement properties of impurity problems

◦ in equilibrium: apply these results to three-band models . conductivities

◦ in nonequilibrium: treat quenches with correlated initial states

Thanks for your attention!
